See, his addication is wearing off now..But I think it is funny that the guy loved his machine so much, he had it in his screen name, suddenly it breaks, and all of the sudden its a POS.. I hope you arent that way with God.

Just when I thought I had seen it all! I laughed out loud when I read this.
Number one: God never breaks...
Number two: I would never have feelings towards God that I have towards Apple computer.
I hope that was helpful....
back to the comic value of the latest postings I want to thank you all for a nice laugh that I needed

Actually that is why I posted it. for humor only. I know God never breaks, but some people who love him do turn around and hate em when things dont go there way.. \

You are right about that.. Sad when folks do such things. I want things to go God's way.
I went ahead and purchased Applecare to get another 2 years coverage on the equip as I do not trust it will last that long without further trouble.
Here is the bottom line:
I got it back and it is scratched to hell.
They said they could send it back. I just don't want to wait another 2 weeks to get it back all over again. They got some deep scratches on the outside shell of the LCD. It looks awful. I wish apple could do better. I would think that apple would respect that their customers don't want to be without their computers time after time. So far the only other issue is that upon boot up there is a new blip with a folder with a question mark in it then it goes about business as usual.
After spending what I have on my apple toys including the iPod and Airport etc. I hope apple will take care of me by providing the AppleCare for 2 more years.
If they don't I will sell the iBook and be done with apple.
Now its:

You've bought the AppleCare yourself and seem intent on keeping the iBook for another 2 years.

You guys are a laugh sometimes. The funny part now is that I really don't miss the iBook at this point. My Sony Vaio is doing a great job.

go to your system preferences folder. they select "startup disk" and they pick the OSX 10.2.x folder.
i would guess they had your iBook booting off another drive before, your machine is doing a breif search for a bootable drive when that question mark is blinking. selecting the startup folder will remove this.

I have not had my iBook even a year I believe. It has died! my iBook was my first ever Apple Purchase and I have spent a bit of money around the system. Air Port etc. It has Died. Last night I was using it as usual and the screen started to jumble and the OS locked up completely. Everything froze. Then the screen would go black and back on scrambled and would continue to scramble as I watched it. I wonder if the Motherboard has a fracture in it? or if the Video card is dead? It is still dead. Today I tried to use it and the screen jumbled up again and the system froze. I guess it is time to go to apple. What are your suggestions?
I just can not believe the thing is broke after such a short period of time. It really has me wondering about the "quality" of apple.
I also forget the warranty period on the iBook with apple do any of you know? I know I did not buy applecare and now I am concerned about my situation.
My school issued about 300 iBooks to the art students here. I work part time at the school's helpdesk. I have seen at least 6 failures like that in the last 8 months, and several of my co-workers have also seen that happen a lot. A guy I work with at my other job also had that happen to his iBook after owning it for just a few months.
This problem is definitely common on at least the last two revisions of the iBook.

How long has your school had the iBooks? I had mine 9 months when this happened. I am curious if there will continue to be more at your school wind up with the problem that have not broken so far.

We got them around July, so we've had them for about 8 months. Maybe the plant was putting out a bad batch or something. I don't know.
As for your scratched screen, did you put a soft cloth between the keyboard and screen? You probably should have. I know they normally ship with plastic on the screen to keep scratches off of it.
Damnit the same sh!t has happend to me tonight!!! DAMNIT DAMINT DAMNIT. I posted in another tread but some dude has a different problem than me so I will let him have his space. Anyway, looks as though I have the same problem as Fellowship.
Here are some pics of the damn thing. BA$TARD little laptop!

I have to say, I find this whole "my machine (which was my entire reason for living) has developed a fault and is now the worst piece of crap ever created" vibe going on round here absolutely hilarious.
The language is much as the same as if your girlfriends had dumped you with extreme prejudice...
